“It’s a dream for me to get into MotoGP. But at the moment it’s only important for me to be competitive” : Ana Carrasco
‘It’s a dream for me to get into MotoGP. But at the moment it’s only important for me to be competitive. I know I’m a fast rider and capable of fighting for wins and maybe the World Championship. But only in the future and not this year.’
“It’s difficult to think about the future right now because I don’t know where I’ll be in the next few years, it all depends on the results. If I’m fast I’ll have a lot of opportunities for next season, but if I’m slow I’ll have nothing. It’s the same for everyone.” says the Spanish rider whilst stressing the fact that she isn’t focused on the future and wants to focus on getting faster and improving her performance.
